Annex 1: Consultation questions

1. Do you agree with the Scottish Government including in
statute an ambition to eradicate child poverty?

2. What are your views on making income targets statutory?

3. How do you think the role of the Ministerial Advisory Group
on Child Poverty can be developed to ensure that they play a key
role in developing the legislation?

4. How can links between the national strategy and local
implementation be improved? What could local partners do to
contribute to meeting these national goals? This might include
reporting and sharing best practice or developing new strategic
approaches.

5. What are your views on the income-based measures of poverty
proposed for Scottish child poverty targets? For example, are there
any additional income-based measures you think we should also use
(and if so, why)? Are there any alternative approaches to measuring
income - for example, as used in other countries - that you think
could apply in Scotland?

6. What are your views on the Scottish Government's proposals
for the levels of child poverty that the targets will be set
at?

7. What are your views on the Scottish Government's proposal to
set targets on an after housing costs basis? For example, are there
any disadvantages to this approach that we have not already
considered?

8. What are your views on the Scottish Government's proposal to
set targets that are expected to be achieved by 2030?

9. What are your views on the proposal that Scottish Ministers
will be required by the Bill to produce a Child Poverty Delivery
Plan every five years, and to report on this Plan annually?

10. Do you have any suggestions for how the measurement
framework could usefully be improved? For example, are there any
influencing factors that are not covered by the measurement
framework? Or are there any additional indicators that could be
added?

11. Do you have any additional views on a Child Poverty Bill for
Scotland?
